McGrath used as little foundation as possible (just to even out the skin tone), applied brown shadow on the lids ("For depth," she says), ran white liner along the inside of the eye, and added a sweep of mascara. A generous amount of bronzer on the cheeks added a sexy, desert-inspired vibe, and a dab of pinkish-red lip stain was topped with a slick of Anna Sui #400 lipstick, a sheer red.

Garren preserved the models' natural hair texture by misting it with Evian, spritzing it with his own Designing Spray Tonic, combing it through, and letting it air dry. Easy.

The Scene: Backstage at Anna Sui's nighttime show always has the chatty, girly energy of a big slumber party, so it was fitting that the models were flitting about in animal print robes pre-show.

__Lesson Learned:__Start making room in your makeup kit for CoverGirl's upcoming launches. McGrath previewed the brand's gorgeous Lip Stains and eye color-enhancing Frosted Mascaras, both of which hit counters in early 2009.
